Willwood rear disc brake conv. GP from the past

[bezerk]

i bought a Syclone, as a project truck. it has willwood disc brakes in the back (never used). i want some info on these.

As i believe they there was a GP a few years back. these are Willwoods with little drum brakes for the E-brake. does anybody has some info on these? the fronts are still stock, and want to make this a showtruck. and willwood in the fronts will look really match with the ones in the back. but they are build for race only? ?

Actually im doing a wilwood Rear brake conversion this weekend.
Ive already removed my rearend today and it looks Extremely easy im going to take some pics of the whole thing there is only Two issues one issue is the Ebrake cable which is easy to fix and the ABS sensor.

I purchased the Complete NEW wilwood rear brake kit with 4 pot calipers, Ebrake system, Rotors and pads for $455.00 on Ebay it was a steal for the price but it bolt on perfectly to our rear end the kit i got is #140-7141.

dunno what kit i have, looks fancy, and was indeed pretty easy to install if you don't brake off the bolt that's in the rear diff. to take the axles out.

Actually taking the bolt out in the rear diff was easy on my truck maybe because i Never drive my typhoon hard i just baby it around. because i cannt afford to fix it.
